is it possible to run simplex-chat via a server on a lan, so as to allow chat between users on a lan, in the absence of an internet connection? and how is it done?

Yes, you can initialize the server with IP address in LAN and use them to configure your clients. Just remember to assign a static IP to the server.

is it correct to put the ip address of my internal server on the lan e.g. 192.168.0.200

I was having issues with android not sending or recieving any messages at all. Fixed it by spoofing android's network status check server with dnsmasq so simplex thinks it online now. Everything works!
